BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect ✓ Correct
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Explanation
Both statements are incorrect because the two memory terms are swapped.
Statement 1 describes memory of life events tied to time and place, which is episodic memory, not implicit.
Statement 2 describes unconscious knowledge influencing behaviour, which is implicit memory, not episodic.
Episodic memory is a form of explicit, consciously recalled long-term memory.
Implicit memory operates without awareness, as in skills and priming.
Tulving distinguished episodic memory from semantic memory.
